Leo Passianos (died 22 June 1017) was the
Leo Tornikios Kontoleon to fight the Lombard rebel Melus of Bari
in 1017. He is not to be confused with the other Passianos killed in Melus' first rebellion while fighting the Saracens under Ishmael of Montepeloso.
Passianos met Melus on the
Civita. This second battle was a victory for Melus, though Lupus Protospatharius
and the anonymous chronicler of Bari record a defeat. Passianos was killed in this battle.
